Stellantis prioritizes range-extended Ramcharger model over full battery-electric Ram 1500 REV, citing consumer demand and technological advancements.
Stellantis announced on Wednesday that it will push back the release of its all-electric Ram pickup truck from next year to 2026. This delay, following an earlier postponement from this year, aims to prioritize the launch of an electric range-extended version of the truck, known as the Ram charger. The Ram charger will be available for customer orders in the first half of 2025, with the full battery-electric Ram 1500 REV following in 2026.
Stellantis stated that the decision to prioritize the Ramcharger stems from strong consumer interest, a desire to maintain a technological edge, and a slowdown in demand for half-ton battery-electric pickups. This announcement comes amidst challenges faced by the Ram brand, which has reported a 24% sales decline through the third quarter of this year. Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Dodge Brand at Stellantis, recently returned to the company and has indicated plans for significant changes. He attributed the brand's sales issues to a slower-than-anticipated rollout of the redesigned Ram 1500 and delays in its upcoming heavy-duty trucks
